I have a widescreen display also. 1360x768. (it's really a projector displaying on a 100" screen) I'm hoping that Doom3 and the Nvidia 6800 will run in 16:9 aspect ratio. Does anyone know?
I've had success with Vice City, Moto GP2, and Unreal 2. Tron only did 4:3. And I had zero success with a Radeon 9800. Only the Geforce nvidia's did 16:9 properly.
excellent intros into every topic in CS. also the quizzes at the end of each section are immensely useful testing/reinforcing the critical concepts you have read. The reading can be dense at times, but makes for a wonder primer/appetizer for the more serious books out there.
I've had the same problem with my car over on 34th Street by the Copacabana on the west side by the Javits Center. Does that mean there is some military base nearby?
This is great as I've been buying the cheapest SC servers to avoid the microsoft tax. With prices starting at $319, i can now afford to buy the 20 or so systems i was planning on for the business. nice
Don't forget the music from Ghost in the Shell by Kenji Kawai! Best soundtrack since Akira's by Geinoh Yamashirogumi. Made the long distance drive the other day awesome.
Apology accepted. You're way too uptight. Relax.:)
Another thing to consider when using more drives in RAID 5 is that you multiply the chance of a drive failure causing downtime. An extra drive is just another point of failure.

A great read nonetheless. I found the Raymond Chen links and such extremely interesting. I've always wondered about the some of the curious/antiquated parts of the win32 api.
Raid 1 for simplicity. 2 drives in mirrored configuration. Cheapest and easiest to setup. Install Linux and use software raid. Works like a charm.
If you're upto a challenge, install Linux to boot from the RAID 1 config. It was a huge pain in the ass to figure out. When I configured Redhat 9, I had to use Lilo instead of Grub as the boot loader wasn't being correctly written for both drives. Had to use "dd" to write the boot sector and Lilo to get it working properly.
Benefits of software raid allow you to swap drives with minimum downtime and recreate the drive in the background. And u save money from not buying a hardware raid card, which could serve as another possible point of failure. Then you can write scripts that can email you the status of the raid periodically with cron.
Remember to test the config by unplugging each drive separately. Of course it will take awhile to sync each drive...
If you are feeling feisty and have more money to spend try this (a copy of a previous post of mine):
Here are some interesting numbers:
$250 per drive 400GB per drive 4 drives 1.2 TB in Raid 5
Total cost $1,000 or $0.83 per MB.
So there you have it. A terabyte file server for about $1000 will be a reality soon enough. Nice. Serial ata will lessen cable clutter, and only 4 drives will be doable in any spare decent case and power supply.
Hopefully it won't take too long for prices to drop to $250.
Of course Raid of any level is no replacement for a full backup, but it's certainly better than nothing or relying on a single drive no matter how good the quality/warranty.

Right. I spent over $5,000 for only the hi-definition projector and 105" diagonal screen. And the games look surreal. Warning: the Directx games like Unreal, GTA Vice City, MotoGP 2, etc. will do the full 16:9 at 1280x768 only with an Nvidia card. Using the ATI Radeon 9800 will only get me 4:3 image. An unfortunate upgrade...
You can pick up the Sanyo PLV-70 for about $4,000 nowadays...

Why? Because the way he acquired his wealth was immoral. Go ask the DOJ.

You're angry because you have difficulty reading english. Go calm down. He says it's much faster.
"You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
If anything, it was more forthcoming/honest. Sarcasm would be more like "Of course bill gates is always right! (sarcasm and link)"
why would the stations interfere with my car remote?
One of my most favorite books. Perfect for an intro class and useful enough to keep on the shelf forever, or until a newer edition comes out. :)

Funny that this should come up as I only noticed yesterday that Dell sells systems with FreeDOS now.

I'm wondering how long before they make a fast acting myostatin-inhibiting/viagra like concoction that you inject straight into the penis. ;)

Can anyone explain the restriction in F1? Was it getting too dangerous?

Mod parent up. Not insightful, but obvious. At least it should be to all of you. *sigh*
Yeah, but who wants to stick 6 drives into a case? Power requirements, heat issues, spacing, etc.
Personally, I'll wait until i can get 4 400gb drives. Not a big deal really.
I was projecting the pricing to when they would be available at $250, which isn't terribly too long from now. Sorry I didn't make that clearer.
For a personal raid file server? IDE. Next question!
Well, you can do software RAID 5 with Linux if you really want to get cheap and no frills.
